2highways, roads, streets, or pedestrian walkways in the county
3highway system, township and district road system, or
4municipal street system as defined in the Illinois Highway
5Code, as the same may from time to time be amended, for
6separation of grades, for installation, construction or
7reconstruction of crossing protection or reconstruction,
8alteration, relocation including construction or improvement
9of any existing highway necessary for access to property or
10improvement of any grade crossing and grade crossing surface

26expenditures authorized by the orders on a cash rather than an

HB0042- 7 -LRB102 02653 HLH 12656 b
1accrual basis. For purposes of this requirement an "accrual
2basis" assumes that the total cost of the project is expended
3in the fiscal year in which the order is entered, while a "cash
4basis" allocates the cost of the project among fiscal years as
5expenditures are actually made. To meet the requirements of
6this subsection, the Illinois Commerce Commission shall
7develop annual and 5-year project plans of rail crossing
8capital improvements that will be paid for with moneys from

7 Absent an enacted appropriation in any State fiscal year,
8this subsection shall constitute a continuing appropriation to
9the Department of Transportation of all amounts necessary for

11counties, and road districts, as provided in paragraph (2) of
12this subsection (e). If an appropriation to the Department of
13Transportation of the amounts directed under this subsection
14(e) is enacted on or after July 1 of any calendar year, then
15the continuing appropriation shall discontinue for that State
16fiscal year, and the enacted appropriation shall supersede.
17 As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
18Department of Transportation shall allot to each municipality
19its share of the amount apportioned to the several
20municipalities which shall be in proportion to the population
21of such municipalities as determined by the last preceding
22municipal census if conducted by the Federal Government or
23Federal census. If territory is annexed to any municipality
24subsequent to the time of the last preceding census the
25corporate authorities of such municipality may cause a census
26to be taken of such annexed territory and the population so

HB0042- 12 -LRB102 02653 HLH 12656 b
1ascertained for such territory shall be added to the
2population of the municipality as determined by the last
3preceding census for the purpose of determining the allotment
4for that municipality. If the population of any municipality
5was not determined by the last Federal census preceding any
6apportionment, the apportionment to such municipality shall be
7in accordance with any census taken by such municipality. Any
8municipal census used in accordance with this Section shall be
9certified to the Department of Transportation by the clerk of
10such municipality, and the accuracy thereof shall be subject
11to approval of the Department which may make such corrections
12as it ascertains to be necessary.
13 As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
14Department of Transportation shall allot to each county its
15share of the amount apportioned to the several counties of the
16State as herein provided. Each allotment to the several
17counties having less than 1,000,000 inhabitants shall be in
18proportion to the amount of motor vehicle license fees
19received from the residents of such counties, respectively,
20during the preceding calendar year. The Secretary of State
21shall, on or before April 15 of each year, transmit to the
22Department of Transportation a full and complete report
23showing the amount of motor vehicle license fees received from
24the residents of each county, respectively, during the
25preceding calendar year. The Department of Transportation
26shall, each month, use for allotment purposes the last such

HB0042- 13 -LRB102 02653 HLH 12656 b
1report received from the Secretary of State.
2 As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
3Department of Transportation shall allot to the several
4counties their share of the amount apportioned for the use of
5road districts. The allotment shall be apportioned among the
6several counties in the State in the proportion which the
7total mileage of township or district roads in the respective
8counties bears to the total mileage of all township and
9district roads in the State. Funds allotted to the respective
10counties for the use of road districts therein shall be
11allocated to the several road districts in the county in the
12proportion which the total mileage of such township or
13district roads in the respective road districts bears to the
14total mileage of all such township or district roads in the
15county. After July 1 of any year prior to 2011, no allocation
16shall be made for any road district unless it levied a tax for
17road and bridge purposes in an amount which will require the
18extension of such tax against the taxable property in any such
19road district at a rate of not less than either .08% of the
20value thereof, based upon the assessment for the year
21immediately prior to the year in which such tax was levied and
22as equalized by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage
23County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of
24road under the jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is
25less. Beginning July 1, 2011 and each July 1 thereafter, an
26allocation shall be made for any road district if it levied a

HB0042- 14 -LRB102 02653 HLH 12656 b
1tax for road and bridge purposes. In counties other than
2DuPage County, if the amount of the tax levy requires the
3extension of the tax against the taxable property in the road
4district at a rate that is less than 0.08% of the value
5thereof, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
6prior to the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized
7by the Department of Revenue, then the amount of the
8allocation for that road district shall be a percentage of the
9maximum allocation equal to the percentage obtained by
10dividing the rate extended by the district by 0.08%. In DuPage
11County, if the amount of the tax levy requires the extension of
12the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
13rate that is less than the lesser of (i) 0.08% of the value of
14the taxable property in the road district, based upon the
15assessment for the year immediately prior to the year in which
16such tax was levied and as equalized by the Department of
17Revenue, or (ii) a rate that will yield an amount equal to
18$12,000 per mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road
19district, then the amount of the allocation for the road
20district shall be a percentage of the maximum allocation equal
21to the percentage obtained by dividing the rate extended by
22the district by the lesser of (i) 0.08% or (ii) the rate that
23will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per mile of road under
24the jurisdiction of the road district.
25 Prior to 2011, if any road district has levied a special
26tax for road purposes pursuant to Sections 6-601, 6-602, and

HB0042- 15 -LRB102 02653 HLH 12656 b
16-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and such tax was levied in
2an amount which would require extension at a rate of not less
3than .08% of the value of the taxable property thereof, as
4equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, or, in
5DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
6mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
7whichever is less, such levy shall, however, be deemed a
8proper compliance with this Section and shall qualify such
9road district for an allotment under this Section. Beginning
10in 2011 and thereafter, if any road district has levied a
11special tax for road purposes under Sections 6-601, 6-602, and
126-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and the tax was levied in
13an amount that would require extension at a rate of not less
14than 0.08% of the value of the taxable property of that road
15district, as equalized or assessed by the Department of
16Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater
17than $12,000 per mile of road under the jurisdiction of the
18road district, whichever is less, that levy shall be deemed a
19proper compliance with this Section and shall qualify such
20road district for a full, rather than proportionate, allotment
21under this Section. If the levy for the special tax is less
22than 0.08% of the value of the taxable property, or, in DuPage
23County if the levy for the special tax is less than the lesser
24of (i) 0.08% or (ii) $12,000 per mile of road under the
25jurisdiction of the road district, and if the levy for the
26special tax is more than any other levy for road and bridge

HB0042- 16 -LRB102 02653 HLH 12656 b
1purposes, then the levy for the special tax qualifies the road
2district for a proportionate, rather than full, allotment
3under this Section. If the levy for the special tax is equal to
4or less than any other levy for road and bridge purposes, then
5any allotment under this Section shall be determined by the
6other levy for road and bridge purposes.
7 Prior to 2011, if a township has transferred to the road
8and bridge fund money which, when added to the amount of any
9tax levy of the road district would be the equivalent of a tax
10levy requiring extension at a rate of at least .08%, or, in
11DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
12mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
13whichever is less, such transfer, together with any such tax
14levy, shall be deemed a proper compliance with this Section
15and shall qualify the road district for an allotment under
16this Section.
17 In counties in which a property tax extension limitation
18is imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law,
19road districts may retain their entitlement to a motor fuel
20tax allotment or, beginning in 2011, their entitlement to a
21full allotment if, at the time the property tax extension
22limitation was imposed, the road district was levying a road
23and bridge tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor
24fuel tax allotment and continues to levy the maximum allowable
25amount after the imposition of the property tax extension
26limitation. Any road district may in all circumstances retain

HB0042- 17 -LRB102 02653 HLH 12656 b
1its entitlement to a motor fuel tax allotment or, beginning in
22011, its entitlement to a full allotment if it levied a road
3and bridge tax in an amount that will require the extension of
4the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
5rate of not less than 0.08% of the assessed value of the
6property, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
7preceding the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized
8by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount
9equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the
10jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less.
11 As used in this Section, the term "road district" means
